What’s a 7-Goal Feat Called? The Quirky Names Behind Football Scoring Milestones

Scoring goals is one of the most celebrated aspects of football, and fans love giving special names to standout performances. While most people know that three goals make a hat-trick, not many are familiar with what comes after—especially when the numbers climb into rare territory.

Let’s break it down: two goals are called a brace, three is the classic hat-trick, four goals in a game earn the title of a haul, and five? That’s a glut. Things start getting creative from there. Six goals is sometimes referred to as a double hat-trick, though it's exceedingly rare.

Now, to answer the burning question: what do you call seven goals in a single match? The unofficial but increasingly used term is a haul-trick—a playful mashup of “haul” and “hat-trick.” It rolls off the tongue better than you’d expect and fits the football lingo vibe. Continue the pattern, and you’ve got eight goals dubbed a snowman—because, well, 8 looks like a snowman. Nine goals? That’s a triple hat-trick, a feat so rare it borders on mythical.

And what about ten goals? There’s no widely accepted term—yet. Maybe we’ll need a new record holder to coin it. After all, scoring ten in one game is almost unthinkable at the professional level. But in local leagues or wild five-a-side games, who knows? The beauty of football lies in its moments of magic—and the quirky names we give them.
